Bitcoin Creator’s $100 Billion Fortune May Be Traced Through Canadian Exchange Connection

New Evidence Links Satoshi Nakamoto to Canadian Exchange, While Bitcoin Holdings Reach $100 Billion

  • New analysis suggests Satoshi Nakamoto was active on blockchain until 2014 and may have used a Canadian cryptocurrency exchange.
  • Satoshi’s Bitcoin holdings are now valued at approximately $100 billion following recent price surges.
  • Quantum computing could potentially unlock dormant Satoshi wallets within five years according to experts.
  • Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence identified 22,000 additional Satoshi-linked addresses containing 1.09 million bitcoin.
  • Crypto exchange Kraken may possess information about Satoshi’s identity through their 2016 acquisition of CaVirtEx.

Fresh evidence has emerged in the long-running mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity, as blockchain analysis suggests bitcoin’s enigmatic creator may have been active as recently as 2014 and potentially used a Canadian cryptocurrency exchange that was later acquired by Kraken.

Coinbase director Conor Grogan revealed his analysis of Satoshi-linked wallet activity, identifying transactions connected to the Canadian exchange CaVirtEx. This discovery represents the first documented on-chain connection between Satoshi’s wallets and a centralized exchange platform.

The investigation gains significance as Bitcoin’s price surge has elevated Satoshi’s estimated holdings to approximately $100 billion. Blockchain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence recently identified an additional 22,000 addresses linked to Satoshi containing 1.09 million bitcoin, using the “Patoshi Pattern” – a distinctive mining signature associated with bitcoin’s creator.

However, these dormant funds face a potential future threat. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, warns that quantum computing advancement could eventually crack inactive bitcoin wallets. “Quantum computing is still very far from any meaningful risk of breaking bitcoin cryptography,” Ardoino stated, though experts like University of Calgary’s Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers suggest this capability might emerge within five years.

The last confirmed communication from Satoshi came in 2011, in an email to developer Mike Hearn stating they had “moved on to other things.” The potential connection to CaVirtEx, which Kraken acquired in 2016, raises new questions about whether documentation of Satoshi’s identity might exist in customer records.

Responding to speculation about possessing Satoshi’s identity information, Kraken maintained the crypto community’s traditional stance: “We are all Satoshi” – a phrase emphasizing the creator’s intended Anonymity and bitcoin’s decentralized nature.
